COMMENTS:

Another Hollies DEMO on offer and again another one from our own collection. This one is not in such good nick as the others so far and is only in VG condition, but still extremely hard to find! Their 16th Parlophone single release and the one that really led to the eventual departure of Graham Nash to CSN. Graham had not been happy with the band’s musical direction of churning out pop hits. But this release was not popular with the fans and didn’t chart so well and off he went to join CSN. There are surface marks on the vinyl which cause a little surface noise at the beginning of the tracks, but they play through fine with no skips or jumps. Despite the marks, the vinyl still retains a nice original sheen. The date release is printed on both sides of the push-out centre (22.9.67). The labels are clean both sides apart showing from light spindle hole marks.  We will be putting the remainder of our Hollies DEMO’s up for sale in the coming weeks so keep watching our listings.

We always try to describe items accurately as our feedback rating shows and we always check condition under strong light. What we describe is what you get and our grading’s are based on those in the Rare Record Price Guide (RRPG). If you want further information before bidding, please let us know and we will provide it. Customer satisfaction is very important. Also, we usually don’t show lots of pictures from every conceivable angle as this takes a long time to do and only gives extra profit to Ebay! If you want more photos before you bid, let us know and we will email you direct, but PLEASE allow enough time (1-2 days) before the auction end.
